Mantis - BlackbeardX Dry Fire Laser Training System with Smart Analytics & Feedback
Description
BlackbeardX Dry Fire Training System
The BlackbeardX takes the Blackbeard auto reset trigger system into an entirely new dimension.
The BlackbeardX dry fire training system contains the MantisX technology that has changed the way shooters improve their marksmanship skills.
Hone your skills faster than ever before with real-time feedback on your shooting technique, smart coaching, and actionable analytics via the MantisX Pistol/Rifle app.
Blackbeard + MantisX = BlackbeardX
…But there's a whole lot more than just an auto resetting trigger system.
In addition to static shooting analysis, the BlackbeardX unlocks unprecedented capability to analyse and improve dynamic shooting: high-speed movement with multi-target engagements. It sounds powerful because it is. Nothing has ever analysed your capabilities like this before.
You can find out all the nitty-gritty here.
But here’s the gist. BlackbeardX:
- Resets your trigger during dry-fire training
- Provides laser visualization
- Analyses on-target delay score
- Assesses over travel score for multiple targets
- Helps you find effective transition paths when shooting
There’s no AR-15 dry fire system quite like this. In fact, there’s no other dry fire training system quite like this. BlackbeardX works well with AR-15s in addition to a range of other rifles plus more to come!
How It Works
Installation takes less than a minute. Pop the rear pin, remove the bolt carrier group, drop in BlackbeardX, put the magazine in place to provide the power, and you're off to the races. It's a 20 second change-out. Dry fire away, counting how much money you're saving with every sweet trigger break and reset that you hear. BlackbeardX will automatically reset your trigger on your rifle up to 10 times per second so you can dry fire like you live fire.
